Frequently Asked Questions About Document Quizzing
Answers regarding file integration and output formats.
How does the AI generate questions from my uploaded materials?
The AI uses advanced natural language processing (NLP) to identify key factual statements, definitions, and relationships within your text. It then transforms these core concepts into formatted multiple-choice questions, creating relevant options and detailed explanations based on the context provided.
What file types can I upload besides PDF and PowerPoint?
Our generator supports a wide range of inputs, including Microsoft Word documents (DOCX), image files (JPG, PNG) containing text, and direct text prompts. This flexibility ensures you can convert nearly any study aid into a structured quiz.
Can I export the generated quiz in formats compatible with my Learning Management System (LMS)?
Yes. Beyond standard PDF and Word exports, we fully support industry-standard formats like QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, allowing seamless import into most major LMS platforms for easy assignment creation.
Is the initial capability to upload and generate a quiz free to try?
The application offers a generous free tier that allows you to test the document upload and quiz generation features. Paid plans unlock access to more advanced AI models and significantly higher monthly generation credits.
